Summary: 
This is a letter to the Manager in the Vancouver City Engineers Office, Dave Rudberg, from the Coalition of Woodwards Squatters and Supporters regarding a 48 hour evacuation order given to squatters, which demands the removal of all structures and objects from the streets and sidewalks. The letter provides reasons as to why this is an unreasonable demand, which includes the lack of social housing, cuts to welfare, insufficient shelters, and inadequate accommodations in Single Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels. It demands in response a removal of the order and the housing of the people. It lists the organizations and individuals who support the squatters at Woodwards.
